        Dear John:

        I've YET to see AppleShare work properly over IP. Also, I'll take a look
at the "Unsolved Mysteries" page.

        Mac printing is actually quite nice through NT; but in all except one case
I've shut it down since the Macs DO print so nicely directly to PostScript
printers. [The exception was to a Canon Color Laser 550 with an EFi RIP
with a 40 MB hard drive, where I set up a P90 NT spooler.]

        Cheers!
        Dan
